Comic FONTS

  

BATMAN '66 VOL. 1
(Scanned library book)
ARCHIE #44 (1943)

Looking through comic books, there is a strong similarity among all of them, being the eye-catching titles. Titles are always in bold wordings and striking colours. This characteristic has gone down through history, as could be seen in Archie #44 which is written in the 40s, big fonts complimented with a striking red. Then in the modern 21st century, as seen, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and such, bears the resemblance of striking titles.




DETECTIVE COMICS #5 (July 1937)
(Scanned library book)

Other than titles, the contents of a comic book always feature fonts that gives the wanted 'sound' effect, as seen above. These fonts are always portrayed in contrasting and strong colours such as red, yellow and blue.
